A teenager told police that his wallet and cellphone were stolen while he was fishing at Mill Pond Park last Friday.

The 13-year-old said he was fishing with friends at about 5:30 p.m. and had set his wallet and iPhone on the ground next to him, police said. The boy caught a fish and walked away from his belongings for a moment to grab the fish and show it to his friends, according to the report.

When the teen walked back to his spot, both his $300 iPhone 5 and his wallet, which contained $20 in cash, were gone, police said.

The victim said there were two high school-age girls sitting not far from the area and who he believes took his possessions, according to the report.
